I had the same problem and sent this to "YKWho" because he said he needed an ilustration:[/IMG]

This is what he replied:

OK, do this:
1. Put hot iron on the area of first 4 frets.
2. thrust very thin knife between neck and fretboard in 1st fret area.
3. clamp E6 string side, that it will be not unglued.
4. lift E1 side to needed height.
5. make mahogany shim as on drawing, apply glue on both sides and fill out the slot.
Use lighyt hammer.
6. clamp it.
7. after drying, trim it and level the frets.

I was hoping to get a replacement neck (but no!) and I'm having a new proper neck crafted instead to be on the safe side. Thought it might help you guys with the same problem or it might not. I would have thought that the only way to get the neck right was a take the frets off and level the board. What do you think?

Well I've already inlaid my MOP over the weekend. I'd be hot if he emailed that back to me. What more does he want us to do? He just didn't drop the ball on this project, he wasn't even in the stadium.

I'm just trying to make the best of the situation. Hope you get it worked out man.

Here are my thoughts on this kit, Perfect!
Although its not all from ymk, it destroys my usa 2008 standard.
I mean.....Destroys....Ive played R9's in the store...and this one holds its own.
Unfortunately...it does weigh a lot....at least 4 more pounds then my lp standard.
A happy end to a shaky bridge.

In short, lol ...yes
But I had a lot of help....and I mean....a LOT of Help. (Thanks again!)
oh, and the thing doesn't weigh 11 lbs like I thought it did.....only 8.8 lbs
(which means that my usa lp is between 5-6lbs )
Post Pics of yours Jordan!!! As you can tell....even mine isnt finished yet.

This was my first kit build. I did make a few mistakes along the way but was a good learning experience anyway. On the whole I am quite happy with how its turned out, trust me it could of been a lot worse.
